Go with what the book says, premium gas. Otherwise you're looking at a knocking problem......

i hope i will not haft to pay as much as i do for my s10 in gas cause i drive 150miles everyday and my s10 used 87 gas with 17 or less mpg it really sucked the gas. If i dont gun the srt-4 and i use premium will it at least get better mpg than my s10 and money wise?

gas costs me about 20$ a week, it's a daily driver, same conditions as you . wish i could get better then 92. (about $2.20 pg)
i'd pay the extra for it and not care. although i'm told i can get 100 near PIR.

The book says to use 91 octane. It also says that you can use regular, but it will severly reduce performance. I use Sunoco Ultra 94 in mine though.
